Overview
- Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla announced he will sign a decree eliminating monetary traffic fines as the basis of road control across the state.
- Officials said officers are prohibited from issuing fines and that sanctioning articles will be refocused on identifying risky behavior and activating preventive protocols.
- César Augusto Ocegueda Robledo detailed that measures will emphasize formative actions, warnings and corrective steps to encourage voluntary compliance.
- The state reported that road patrols and Guardianes del Camino personnel will operate with cameras on all deployments to deter abuse and strengthen oversight.
- Residents were urged to report any attempted extortion to 911, as the change builds on a 2024 Guardia Civil reform that had already curtailed state fining powers.
